(Beaver, Pa) The Beaver County Commissioners heard a report on a proposed drainage project along Brush Creek Park in North Sewickley Township. The purpose of the project is to redirect water during heavy periods of rain on Barrisville Road. Some trees on park property would have to be cut down as a result. The water would be discharged to a current drainage ditch further down the road.

The county is okay with the project as long as North Sewickley proceeds to check with other agencies such as the DEP and Conservation District for any other approvals.

Also at the meeting an update on the tax assessment appeals was given. Out of 169 appeals this year, 80 are left to be processed.

Furthermore, it was announced that the Old Economy pool is set to open this year. The pool will be staffed by the Beaver County YMCA.
